Re: No router from plus net,use old talk talk fibre router

In my experience TalkTalk routers aren't locked downIt should only be a matter of changing your username & password to you plusnets username / passwordIf your unsure how to do this, post which model huwaei router, you have IE: HG533I still have a few trial routers here I could grab screen shots if requiredThe main settings IIRC are the same[code= Router GUI] Connection SettingsPVC Info (VPI.VCI): 0.38Type: PPPoA[/code]

Re: No router from plus net,use old talk talk fibre router

Hi,The router is a huwaei HG533 Fibre optic router. Seems like it doesnt require password or logon to connect to the network,far as it says anyway.If you go to advanced options it takes you the huwaei router settings page instead of the talk talk overview page.The net is still connected is it possible, the line has been transferred and the router is connected to plusnet?I had that once with a line transfer...Anyway the model is the hg533.I have saved the plusnet connection details in word format just in case i need them,ive configured old routers with normal broadband a few times, just curious as to whether its the same with fibre etc...just username and password?

It's likely you haven't been transferred yet then. I think Talktalk use DHCP to allocate a WAN IP which would explain why there is no userid/password required.On PlusNet you will need to configure the WAN connection type as PPPoE and input your username & password.Hope that helps
